I just let him fuss through it last night and he laid back down and went to sleep so I'm done going in there. He did pull up once last night so that should make things interesting. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lo-sitting-up-while-napping-wwyd#post-1706921 Wed, 18 Jun 2014 10:15:16 +0000 Alivoo01 1706921@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS is doing this. He's 11 months and will sit up randomly when he's sleeping or when i try to put him to sleep. He doesn't know how to lay back down so he ends up falling asleep while sitting up only to bash his head into the slats as he leans forward while asleep. Bash = wake up and cry. rinse and repeat. if I go in to lay him down, he'll just roll over and sit back up.</p> <p>Only way for me to get him to sleep is to pick him up, and he'll 8/10 times fall asleep pretty quickly, then I put him back down. Which he will conveniently wake up and sit back up about an hour or so later. :crying: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lo-sitting-up-while-napping-wwyd#post-1705900 Tue, 17 Jun 2014 17:49:56 +0000 hilsy85 1705900@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jetsa: does he know how to lie back down on his own? I would go in, lie him down, and leave, especially if it's at the beginning of a nap.</p> <p>Side note, so funny reading this post from what feels like a million years ago! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lo-sitting-up-while-napping-wwyd#post-1705725 Tue, 17 Jun 2014 15:57:32 +0000 jetsa 1705725@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So bringing up an old thread, DS has figured this out and is screaming at the top of his lungs if we don't go get him immediately. Do I just leave him? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lo-sitting-up-while-napping-wwyd#post-928871 Sat, 13 Jul 2013 14:11:07 +0000 Running Elley 928871@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sorrycharlie: We definitely have those days too :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lo-sitting-up-while-napping-wwyd#post-928839 Sat, 13 Jul 2013 13:30:08 +0000 sorrycharlie 928839@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am jealous of you guys! O is doing this but is so stubborn that she just won't go to sleep. I end up back in there after 40-60m and redo the whole routine. Sigh. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lo-sitting-up-while-napping-wwyd#post-928815 Sat, 13 Jul 2013 13:09:38 +0000 Running Elley 928815@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Elliot does this too. He also stands up. If I go in and keep laying him down it just makes him more deteemined to stand up. Lately I've just been leaving him and after about 10 minutes he'll lay back down with his blankie and go to sleep. It's really frustrating though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lo-sitting-up-while-napping-wwyd#post-928811 Sat, 13 Jul 2013 13:06:54 +0000 Beehive 928811@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>J does this too - he'll roll around and sit and kneel and roll some more when we put him down for a nap, but after 10 minutes or so (less when he's super tired) he eventually falls asleep. I think of it like he's trying to find the comfiest spot to sleep in! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lo-sitting-up-while-napping-wwyd#post-928807 Sat, 13 Jul 2013 13:04:27 +0000 immabeetoo 928807@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We went through this, it was annoying but it resolved after about a week and we just ignored him unless he got worked up and then we soothed and put him back in. I'm not looking forward to a similar phase once he realizes he can pull up and stand in his crib :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lo-sitting-up-while-napping-wwyd#post-928799 Sat, 13 Jul 2013 12:56:57 +0000 Weagle 928799@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Leave him. He'll get his fill of practicing his new trick and stop trying eventually. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lo-sitting-up-while-napping-wwyd#post-928747 Sat, 13 Jul 2013 11:56:56 +0000 MrsF 928747@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>M has been doing this the last few weeks too! I just let her be and watch her on the video monitor and she falls asleep eventually. She's used to putting herself to sleep and going down "drowsy but awake" so I figure she needs to be able to do this too :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lo-sitting-up-while-napping-wwyd#post-928729 Sat, 13 Jul 2013 11:28:43 +0000 JoyfulKiwi 928729@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our son has been doing this too!! I just go in and gently lower him back onto his stomach. Over and over and over... :/ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lo-sitting-up-while-napping-wwyd#post-928692 Sat, 13 Jul 2013 10:48:18 +0000 hilsy85 928692@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO recently learned how to sit up on his own, and today, he's been sitting up in his crib once I lay him down for a nap. Do I keep going in and laying him down or do I just leave him? How long would you leave him for? he's not fussing when he's sitting up, he's just kind of chilling/playing. And he is definitely tired as he fell asleep nursing right before I put him in the crib. </p>
